Abandoned Uranium Mines Site Screen Reports

Preliminary site screen reports of abandoned uranium mines (AUMs) on Navajo Nation were carried out from 2008-2011. The purpose of the site screen reports is to determine the status and location of identified AUM sites on Navajo Nation. Verification of reclamation features, preliminary gamma readings compared to a relative background, and proximity to features of interest such as homes and waterways are some of the information captured in these reports. Recommendations on next steps will be provided through further investigation of each mine site and documented in a separate report. Certain information has been omitted from the site screen reports in order to protect residents' personal privacy.
